The Shepherds, Luke 2:8-20
1. The Fear
2. The Good News
"Only when you accept the very very bad news of Jesus’ birth will you then be excited about its very, very good news. Good news is only ever good news to people who know that they need good news. Ten dollars is extremely good news to a poor man, but would not even get noticed by a rich man. The promise of healing is wonderfully good news to a very sick woman, but would not even get the attention of a woman who was in good health. Jesus’s birth is both the worst and the best news ever, and understanding both will change your life."
--Paul David Tripp from Come Let Us Adore Him

3. The Antidote
FAMILY DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. Who did the angels first announce the birth of Christ to? Why were they chosen to hear this news first, what was unique about them?
2. If God appeared to you as the angel did to the shepherds, what would your reaction be and why?
3. The Shepherds had to arrange for care of their flocks and travel a distance to see Jesus, they didn't hesitate to obey. What is something God is asking you to be obedient in? What would cause you to question God?
